Chances are, it is a standard, industry o-ring size. I doubt FSA makes their own o-rings, but buys commercially available.
Assuming I'm correct, you'll need two bits of info:
o-ring material (probably not a big deal, since certain materials are more compatible with certain chemicals. I believe typically bicycle oils/greases are relatively benign.)
o-ring dimensions (cross sectional diam and outside or inside diameter)
Hopefully you can resurrect the shreaded one. O-rings are fairly common and can be found at the LHS (local hardware store) or LPS (local plumbing store), and not typically found at Lowes or Home Despot.
